Hollywood actor Jim Caviezel has taken a bold step by voicing his support for President Donald Trump, potentially risking his career.
Caviezel, renowned for his role in the acclaimed movie “Sound of Freedom,” drew a parallel between President Trump and the biblical figure King David.
The veteran actor, known for his role in Mel Gibson’s epic film “Passion of the Christ,” expressed his belief that “Trump was chosen by God Almighty” to assume leadership.
“When you go back to David, Trump is like that,” Caviezel said during an appearance on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast.
“Here’s a boy that was called out and many people didn’t like him as including his own—I’m talking about David now—own father.
“And he was selected by God.
“I believe Donald Trump was selected by God almighty.
“He probably didn’t think he was the best guy to be president.
“Or maybe he thought he was the best guy because in my opinion, he’s pretty great.
“A guy like him will be able to sit there and watch this ‘Sound of Freedom’ and feel safe and peace, and I think that a lot of people that watch this that are following God, feel that way.”
Both Trump and Caviezel share a deep commitment to combating human trafficking.
The former 45th President of the United States has openly endorsed Caviezel’s recent film addressing child trafficking, “Sound of Freedom.”
Trump has even organized screenings of the movie to raise awareness about the issue.
“Thank you all so much, that was incredible,” Trump said to the crowd at a screening he held for the movie at his golf club in New Jersey.
“Jim, that was unbelievable.
“It’s something that I’m not sure if you’re supposed to enjoy or learn.
“It’s a combination, but that was a great movie.
“Now I understand why it’s doing so well.
“It’s setting records by the way, it’s eating the biggest movies out there, they have some of the big summer blockbusters and this is knocking the socks off of them.
“So that’s pretty good,” he said.
“I hope everybody had a fantastic time, I did, It’s an incredible inspiration.
“You guys do something very special.”
